I understand the reason for it, I understand why people want to help people living in poverty but I stopped caring to give money a long time ago. All due to a simple thing.
Those people that stand on the street day in day out at shopping malls, bothering you to sign up for this and that and more of this and more of that.
And where does all that money end up at? 80+% into the pockets of the wealthy.
Want to help those people? go to those countries and give them food packages to sustain them for a few weeks, those in your own country? specially kids give them a birthday present, give them a nice christmass, take them in for a week with one of those programs and give them a 2 week holiday with theme parks and the like and send them home with a 50-100 dollar food package for there fam.
But don't donate money to strange causes!!

I think those guys could have done something more relevant towards poverty like one of those commercials with the abused dogs and cats with sad music playing, if I saw this as a commercial and had no clue what paintball was I'd be terrified from watching 5 guys get lit up by a bunch of people...what does this have to do with children in poverty again?

This was one of those , " seemed like a good idea" things.
I think they could have put that 300+ $ worth of paintballs to better use, like, you know, donating to charity....
Why is it that when people who don't play paintball see paintball equipment they just want to do the stupidest sh*t with it?
